Globus - Oberammergau 2020

The world-famous Oberammergau Passion Play is performed by the locals of Oberammergau in Germany just once a decade. In 1634, the Black Plague devastated Europe’s population. Oberammergau remained untouched until a homesick villager returned one night, unknowingly bringing with him the dreaded plague. Almost 100 villagers died as a result. Frightened survivors vowed that if God saved them from the plague, once every 10 years, they would reenact the agony and crucifixion of Christ. From then on, there were no further deaths from the plague, and the villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever since.

In 2020, watch this spectacular event that only happens once every 10 years! Enjoy first-class seating and expect hotel rooms conveniently located in the heart of the town.The play will run from May through to October and runs for 8 hrs, including a 3-hour intermission for dinner. Please note, the play is conducted in German with booklets provided in other languages.
